Alchemist Proficiencies

Preservationists are proficient with all simple weapons and bombs. They are also proficient with light armor, but not with shields.

Bomb

In addition to magical extracts, alchemists are adept at swiftly mixing various volatile chemicals and infusing them with their magical reserves to create powerful bombs that they can hurl at their enemies. An alchemist can use a number of bombs each day equal to his class level + his Intelligence modifier. 

Thrown bombs have a range of 30 feet and use the Throw Splash Weapon special attack. Bombs are considered weapons and can be selected using feats such as Point-Blank Shot and Weapon Focus. On a direct hit, an alchemist’s bomb inflicts 1d6 points of fire damage + additional damage equal to the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier. The damage of an alchemist’s bomb increases by 1d6 points at every odd-numbered alchemist level (this bonus damage is not multiplied on a critical hit or by using feats such as Vital Strike). Splash damage from an alchemist bomb is always equal to the bomb’s minimum damage (so if the bomb would deal 2d6+4 points of fire damage on a direct hit, its splash damage would be 6 points of fire damage). Those caught in the splash damage can attempt a Reflex save for half damage. The DC of this save is equal to 10 + 1/2 the alchemist’s level + the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier.

Mutagen

At 1st level, an alchemist discovers how to create a mutagen that he can imbibe in order to heighten his physical prowess at the cost of his personality.

It's a standard action to drink a mutagen. Upon being imbibed, the mutagen causes the alchemist to grow bulkier and more bestial, granting him a +2 natural armor bonus and a +4 alchemical bonus to the selected ability score for 10 minutes per alchemist level. In addition, while the mutagen is in effect, the alchemist takes a –2 penalty to one of his mental ability scores. If the mutagen enhances his Strength, it applies a penalty to his Intelligence. If it enhances his Dexterity, it applies a penalty to his Wisdom. If it enhances his Constitution, it applies a penalty to his Charisma.

Throw Anything (Alchemist)

All alchemists gain the Throw Anything feat as a bonus feat at 1st level. An Alchemist adds his Intelligence modifier to damage done with splash weapons, including the splash damage if any.

Bottled Ally

At 2nd level, a preservationist adds summon nature’s ally I to his formula book as a 1st-level extract.

At 5th level, a preservationist adds summon nature’s ally II to his formula book as a 2nd-level extract.

At 8th level, a preservationist adds summon nature’s ally IV to his formula book as a 3rd-level extract.

At 10th level, a preservationist adds summon nature’s ally V to his formula book as a 4th-level extract.

At 14th level, a preservationist adds summon nature’s ally VII to his formula book as a 5th-level extract.

At 18 level, a preservationist adds summon nature’s ally IX to his formula book as a 6th-level extract.

Grand Discovery

At 20th level, the Preservationist makes a grand discovery. He immediately learns two normal discoveries, but also learns a grand discovery, representing a truly astounding alchemical breakthrough of significant import. For many Preservationists, the promise of one of these grand discoveries is the primary goal of their experiments and hard work.

Brew Potions

Allows you to brew potions of Spells up to level 3 during camping.

Discovery

At 2nd level, and then again every 2 levels thereafter, an alchemist makes an incredible alchemical discovery. At 20th level, the alchemist makes an additional discovery. Unless otherwise noted, an alchemist cannot select an individual discovery more than once. Some discoveries can only be made if the alchemist has met certain prerequisites first, such as uncovering other discoveries. Only one such discovery can be applied to an individual bomb. The DC of any saving throw called for by a discovery is equal to 10 + 1/2 the alchemist's level + the alchemist's Intelligence modifier.
